Our Mission

At NEST+M, intellectualism, inclusivity, collaboration and exploration within and beyond our school community enable our students to lead lives filled with learning, discovery and purpose.

NEST+m students feel valued and cared for. They develop the academic mindsets and metacognitive skills necessary for long-term learning.

NEST+m students blossom into practitioners—scientists, mathematicians, technologists, writers, historians, musicians, painters, linguists and artists– who learn from and with each other.

The NEST+m DifferenceFocus on engaging students in purposeful reading and writing within every lesson to strengthen the capacity for all students to create high level demonstrations of learning.
